Author Hkizzle Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Does this mean you think people who cheat have a low IQ? No, not cheaters. Just saying most people don't know which behaviors are biologically driven and which and from higher reasoning. Most people just think......."we think". Link to post Share on other sites
GorillaTheater Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just saying most people don't know which behaviors are biologically driven and which and from higher reasoning. I was thinking about that just this morning, as I was engaged in some ritualistic territorial strutting along my neighbor's property line. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Hkizzle Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah - now we're getting somewhere. Both of my parents were cheaters. I have a harder time with monogamy and therefore have to impose more "rules" on myself. Those are merely 2 statements of fact and not necessarily related. Now, given that they might be. Is my struggle with monogamy a genetic inheritance or a learned behavior based on what I witnessed growing up. Let me give you two scenarios. Girl A - comes to loveshack for advice AFTER she's cheated. She could not control herself. Or rather, she did what she wanted and THEN chose to ask for help. Girl B (me) - came to loveshack BEFORE cheating to ask for help and guidance. I avoided a possibly heart-shattering experience for my fiance. IMO - this means people will do what they WANT to do, rather than what they are predisposed to doing. It's a combination of the two. Many inherited behaviors are more likely in the kids because of: 1) Seeing the parents do it. 2) Inheriting the genes. My dad hit me when I was a kid. I would hate to do that to my kids. Still got a choice....... Link to post Share on other sites
